It can be hard to transition your adolescent wardrobe into a sophisticated closet fit for a young adult, but this Elle Japan September 2013 editorial makes the change a little bit easier.
Model Emma Landen stars in this shoot as an innocent school girl trying to find her very own identity in the fashion world. Photographer Junji Hata captures the fresh faced blonde model as she poses in an empty warehouse wearing plaids, stripes and full skirts; all appropriate looks for a day spent in the classroom but also dressed up enough for a classy night out with the girls.
Titled 'Almost a Woman,' this Elle Japan September 2013 photo shoot marks a unique moment in every girl's fashionable life.
